Coraline in the Wine Country Shawl and Wrap crochet pattern

Coraline in the Wine Country, the fourth crochet pattern in the series, is celebrating Coraline’s sabbatical traveling the globe. A globe trekker in training, she still loves wearing her pumps on a bicycle and journaling by a water fountain.

Coraline in the Wine Country

She isn’t using the internet right now and loves sending letters using pen and paper, doodling over mistakes. She wrote me a letter while wearing this shawl with her feet in the Vaillancourt Fountain! Get this. She is headed up to Mendocino and working her way through wine country. So far, she’s been to Morocco, Times Square, and San Francisco on this journey. (Click each location to see the special items I made for her trip.)

I think this may be my favorite yet! They are all so pretty though it is hard to decide. Love the versatility. Been looking for a good excuse to try the Unforgettable. This may just be it. Thank You! 🙂

I really liked this shawl from the minute I found the pattern through your facebook page and I’m almost two thirds finished with my own version of it in dark blue hues, it’s turning out to be quite awesome!

LOVE this pattern and just made this in the same color, “Winery’! This yarn is wonderful to crochet with and am on my 2nd one now. What is the best way to keep the ends from curling up? I did wet block it but they are still curling some.

Thank you for posting such a lovely free pattern. I am new to crochet and am having a hard time following the instructions in the pattern. I was able to Ch 4, sl st to form a loop, and work Row 1 up until ” – 6dc, 1 ch-3 space” Could you provide a bit more direction. I’m not certain how to “read” the hyphens and continue the pattern.

Good morning! I watched your tutorial for a half double foundation chain, and I get HOW to do it. But my question is HOW or WHY or in WHAT circumstance is it used? Are there patterns that call for it specifically or does it create a foundation chain PLUS the illusion of “Row 1” all in one? Do you always just chain 3 or was that just for illustration — would you normally chain more than that? LOL . . .
CONFUSED!!! Thanks.

OK. I understand that but now I lost that link! I can think of several times an “elastic” foundation would come in handy as sometimes it feels tight compared to the rest of the garment. IF you can give me that link again, I surely would appreciate it. Thanks so much.

I love this pattern I want to make it for my mom. She is a larger woman, and I was wondering if I need to make it better and how? I’m fairly new at making large crochet products and was wondering how this shawl seems to be able to use as a “shawl” but also connected in the wrap style? Please help, my dad helped me pick out this pattern and we both know my mom we will love it. She has a breast cancer remission anniversary on Feb 15, and I’m hoping to make this for her.

Hi, Brandie ~ I would probably try continuing with the pattern sequence with one more skein, then try a border of some type to widen it. This pattern is very flexible and I’m sure you can make it work. Feel free to email me your pics and I can help with your progress. 🙂

Hi Celine, I love this pattern. I am making this for my daughter who wants it in a dark gray. I will post a picture when I am done. I previously posted a few questions regarding the placement of certain stitches in the pattern. I have since resolved those issues.
New question: Would the magic circle be appropriate to begin this pattern. I tried it but some how it didn’t look right. I will be making a few more of the items in the Coraline Shawl series
Thank you.

Oh, that’s wonderful, Debra! (Sorry I hadn’t gotten back to you. I have so many lovely comments that sometimes it’s hard to get to them every day. 🙂 )
I tried the magic circle, and honestly, it just looked like a knot and kind of rolled in on itself or looked twisted. I love the magic circle, but you may have to put in extra effort on this one.

My triangle shawl by simplycollectiblecrochet has gotten some work. I’m about halfway through the second ball now with a J or 6mm hook. I still love the easiness of the pattern, I have it memorized so I don’t need to bring a pattern with me. The yarn is still beautiful.
